[CP 244 CD] Radiophonic Tape Compositions

Replica edition of this impossible-to-find, internal compilation of early-mid-80s Australian Tape Collage & Digital Assemblage, issued privately by Sydney Classical radio station 2MBS & consisting of five extended pieces; one each by Composers Peter Mumme, Peter Schaefer, Robert Douglas, Jon Rose, & Michael Hannan. There is a fair deal of the Fairlight's timbral & formal palette across the album's otherwise conceptually disparate offerings; understandable given the era & geographic associations at play, making this as something of a calling card for the instrument in more Academic & Avant-Garde contexts outside of its storied use across the myriad early Genesis members' contemporaneous solo work. Think of it as the Fairlight "Creation du Monde" to the various Jellybean Benitez Publison-laced productions. Mumme's "Veronica Takes A Bath" opens with an assemblage of water sounds not too far removed from Knud Viktor's "Images" & "Ambiances" (see [CP 100-101 CD])
